The ability to automatically repeat a set of related questions based upon a number a customer provides. E.g. A group of questions related to a child would be repeated 3 times if the question: “How many children do you have?” is answered as 3.

New functionality has been added from this release to enable bank account validation to be added to eDesigner forms. This uses the Loqate third party bank details validation service so the feature is licensed separately. Please contact your Account Manager or the IEG4 Support team for further details.

When the feature is enabled there is a new item when adding a Section called ‘Bank account details section

There are 4 new global resources for this to control validation error messages in the form

ValidationUnavailableErrorMessage

InvalidAccountNumberErrorMessage

InvalidSortCodeErrorMessage

The functionality requires 4 global settings which need to be set up by IEG4

This provides the ability to insert a set of questions that were saved previously.

This powerful function means if you save a section with 30 different questions, it can be instantly be recreated. This is useful for council specific pages e.g. with privacy policy / GDPR related checkboxes to ensure consistency and ease of repeatability.
